Tom Loved Art
When we first moved to
Georgia from Tennessee we
had to walk a mile to catch
the school bus. As we walked
along, Tom told me of the
beautiful dresses he would
buy for me when he started
working. He loved lace and
ruffles so the clothes would
be real pretty. Time moved
on and he did art work for
school as they needed,
posters, etc. He had been
dead over 20 years and peo
ple still told me that they
used the art work that he had
done for school. He wasn’t
trained to teach art but he
taught lots of it. He taught
craft art classes in the sum
mer. He also taught working
with clay and all sorts of dif
ferent material. The children
made small plaques and other
items such as vases, etc. They
would shape the clay and all
sorts of different material.
The children made small
plaques and other items such
as vases, etc. They would
shape the clay into small an
imals. I still have a dog and
an old lady he shaped from
the clay. He took a course in
art work when he went to the
University of Tennessee. He
had a lady he made friends
with. She made an old lady
from the clay for him. It was
really nice, short and real
plump. It even had a soft,
smiling face and I just love it.
He made corn husk dolls and
all sorts of Christmas decora
tions from different materi
als. We buy spray snow now,
but he made out snow from
Ivory soap flakes and he
would put it on the pine
boughs we had across the
mantle and it was beautiful. I
would tell forever of his art
work, however, those who
knew him remembers his
work and those that didn’t
know him won’t know what
to think of this type art.
In the spring the churches
had a service decorating the
graves. There were not artifi
cial flowers available so he
made them from crepe paper
then dipped them in hot wax.
Ladies wore a corsage to
church on Mother’s Day and
Easter and Tom was making
them from the flowers that
grew in our yard. Mama and
our aunts and a lot of the
older ladies around had a cor
sage that Tom made. Tom
made lovely Valentines and
gave them to all the older
ladies like Ms. Roberts, Ms.
Guinn, Ms. Telete Richards,
Ms. Wheeler and many other
ladies. May Day baskets
were one thing that was so
different from what anyone
else around here did. They
were small little baskets dec
orated real pretty and filled
with small little treats.
Maybe something he even
bought at a yard sale and he
always made them a card.
I hope these stories have
made you think of days long
